Uncreated Conscience

Just a bit of silliness from yesterday’s photoshoot. I recently discovered the continuous shooting mode on my camera (and my recently, I mean on the subway ride to the location) and snuck a few photos of Bex talking about Battlestar Galactica to edit into this short stopmotion film.

Fall is the best and most glorious time to be in New York, I think. Growing up in southern California, I never really new what fall was like, or how gorgeous the sunshine light could be. Because it was so beautiful yesterday, I went up to the Alice in Wonderland statue in Central Park to shoot some film. I met up with my friend Allison as well as The Inimitable Bex, who came with her awesome new red hair. Obviously a photoshoot had to commence (in which Bex looks amazingly like Gillian Anderson in some photos). Later we went back to my place so I could dress Bex up as Joan Holloway and take even more photos.

I have a confession to make.

I am completely and utterly addicted to making stopmotion and hand drawn animation films. From whence does this latent desire from filmmaking arise? I have no idea.

Storyboarding

I used to want to be an animator.

NOT ANYMORE. No wonder traditional handdrawn animation became passé. Even drawing the scant 25 frames in here almost drove me batshit insane.

I procrastinate a lot. I often procrastinate from doing creative things by…making other creative things. In this case, I’m trying not to look at the flaws Scrivener keeps pointing out in my manuscript.

Mostly I’ve been inspired by Maggie Stiefvater who, in addition to being a wonderful writer, is a multi-talented woman. I just loved her stop-motion trailer for SHIVER that I decided to have a go at something similar myself. White-Harp has also been pestering me for ages to make her into a famous internet star and gladly jumped at the opportunity to make her opinions known via video blog.
